Overview:
Our goal is to deliver enterprise quality services to all of our clients. Havok2 Networks is dedicated to protecting the source and distribution of information and protecting the rights and privileges of those utilizing the Internet including the storage, distribution and exchange of information (content). Havok2 Networks has no intent to act as the content police; our duty in the process of information dissemination is simply to act as a conduit between interested parties. Notwithstanding anything found herein, Havok2 Networks strives to follow all local, state and federal laws pursuant to the services delivered over the Internet and directly related to our network and internal systems. The purpose of this AUP is to inform all Clients of acceptable, anticipated Client usage. Due to the countless possibilities of maintaining a network comprised of hundreds or thousands of servers, this AUP is intended to act as a guideline to service and shall be not deemed all-encompassing.

See the newsgroup or mailing lists charter for whether advertising is allowed or prohibited. “Spamming,” or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such.
e. Communications may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment, whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving email, you must not send that person any further messages.

In the case of a null route or SBL / UCE-Protect listing or any other client activity based cause resulting in the loss of the IP space, Client agrees to forfeit the current month’s service payment due to Client violation of the Acceptable Use Policy. Client may, at Havok2 Networks sole discretion, procure new IP space and service(s) under a new Service Order Form.
